The difference between 3PL and 4PL
The difference between 3PL and 4PL
As a leading cross-border logistics company, OBD Logistics understands the importance of efficient and cost-effective logistics operations. That’s why we offer 3PL and 4PL services to our clients.
One of the main advantages of using 3PL services is the cost savings it provides. With 3PL, our clients do not need to maintain their own warehouses or employees to manage logistics operations. Instead, we provide better performance and scalability for transportation and other services.
It’s important to note the difference between 3PL and 4PL services. While 3PL providers focus on managing logistics operations, 4PL providers take a more strategic approach by managing the entire supply chain. This includes overseeing multiple 3PL providers, as well as managing inventory and demand planning.
When comparing freight forwarding agents to 3PL providers, it’s important to understand that freight forwarders act as intermediaries between client companies and shipping companies. While they may provide some logistics services, they do not offer the same level of comprehensive management as 3PL providers.
At OBD Logistics, we offer both 3PL and 4PL services to meet the unique needs of our clients. Our 3PL services include transportation management, warehousing and distribution, and customs brokerage. We also offer value-added services such as packaging and labeling.
Our 4PL services take a more strategic approach by managing the entire supply chain, from sourcing to delivery. This includes overseeing multiple 3PL providers, managing inventory levels, and optimizing supply chain processes for maximum efficiency.
Overall, OBD Logistics is committed to providing our clients with the most efficient and cost-effective logistics solutions possible. Whether you need 3PL or 4PL services, we have the expertise and experience to help you streamline your operations and achieve your business goals.
When the product is 100% produced, before or after the product is packaged, we will inspect the appearance, handwork, function, safety, and check quality required by the customer in our full inspection warehouse according to customer requirements. Strictly distinguish between good and bad products, and report the inspection results to customers in a timely manner. After the inspection is completed, the good products are packed in boxes and sealed with special tape. The defective products will be returned to the factory with the defective product details. OBD will ensure that each product shipped meets your quality requirements
